"Draco!"
Draco turned around. "What, Blaise?"
"Hey are you ready for the first game of the season? Slytherin versus Ravenclaw!"
"I sure am, Blaise. Why?" Then Draco thought to himself, "Since when is Blaise interested in Quidditch??"
"Because I am the newest keeper!"
"So?"
"Well," Blaise began, "I'm the newest keeper!"
"You just told me that!!" Draco cried.
"I just thought you might wanna know so, you know, you don't get a heart attack when you see me out there!"
"Oh yeah! Some heart attack" Draco mocked, "Watch the famous Blaise Zabini fall off of his broom crying because he didn't save a goal!!!"
"Whatever Draco. See ya at the field!"
"Yeah whatever." Draco thought. "I wonder how good he is?"
*~*~*~*~*
Draco ran up to his dorm to get his Nimbus when he saw an owl on his bed. He relieved it of its affliction and it flew significantly out of the window.
Eagerly, Draco opened the letter, wondering what it was about. His eyes widened as he read it.
"Draco,
You did outstanding at the meeting. Another will be held on October 3rd at 9:00. Be at Hogsmeade again. Remember to wear your invisibility cloak.
L.V."
"I did outstanding?" Draco thought aloud. "Cool!"
Draco then remembered why he came up there in the first place. He grabbed his Nimbus and decided to have some fun before the match. He hopped on it and flew out of the window to the Quidditch field, leaving the letter on the bed.
*~*~*~*~*
Draco lined up between Blaise and Marcus Flint. He could he the crowd bustling and yelling. He hopped on his broom and watched as the snitch and bludgers were let loose. He tried keeping his eyes on the snitch but the sunlight reflected off it and nearly blinded him.
"Captains, shake hands!" yelled Madam Hooch.
Draco watched as Flint shook hands with Ernie Macmillan.
The whistle blew.
Draco pushed off hard from the ground. He began trailing around looking for the snitch. He saw two people following him. He ignored them.
Lee Jordan, the announcer, was sick at the last minute, so the crowd would have to watch and see for themselves because McGonagall couldn't find anyone who wanted to announce for the match. They all just wanted to watch.
Draco looked up at the scoreboard. 10-20 in favor of Ravenclaw. Draco looked at the players. Some of them had confused looks on their faces. The Ravenclaw team looked slightly larger than he remembered from last time.
After about half an hour of looking for the Snitch, Draco saw two people diving on the East end of the field. Two people? Then Draco saw the Snitch directly below them. He quickly glanced at the scoreboard again. 70-90 in Ravenclaw's favor.
"Why aren't we scoring?" Draco thought as he dove wildly, faster than the other two, for the snitch. He caught it just as Cho Chang was reaching out for it.
He pulled out of the dive and raised his hands in the air. The crowd burst into applause and wild cheering.
Draco landed and was engulfed by his teammates. He looked over them on tiptoe and saw Madam Hooch talking to McGonagall.
He watched as Professor McGonagall nodded her head and pointed her wand to her throat.
"Students!" she said in a very loud voice. "There has been a mishap! Some of the Hufflepuff team thought that it was their game today! The Ravenclaws came as well forming some kind of Huffle-Claw team! So because of their confusion, we will be awarding Slytherin championship of this game and Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw will each receive 50 House Points for a well played game!"
All of the Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs groaned loudly. But the Slytherin side of the field burst into a frenzy. Slytherin banners were waving and all the Slytherin were shouting and yelling.
*~*~*~*~*
As Draco made his way up to the Common room he passed Blaise.
"Hey Blaise! Good game!"
"Thanks Draco," Blaise replied wearily, "You were great too, especially with two seekers to compete with!!"
"Thanks Blaise." Draco replied. He opened the Slytherin common room and walked in on the victory party. Ford handed him a Butterbeer and Draco collapsed on a green armchair. Everyone was throwing Filbusters Fireworks and someone even let out a Dungbomb. Everyone put a charm on themselves and their neighbors to prevent from smelling it. The party lasted until well past midnight.
*~*~*~*~*
Draco trudged up to his dorm and changed into his nightclothes. He noticed a letter open on his bed. He picked it up and scanned through it. It was the letter from Voldemort. He quickly looked around hoping no one had read it. He sighed with relief when he saw no one. He stuffed the letter in his trunk and got under his warm covers.
Number ten is history!!!! Chapter eleven coming up soon. With it being winter break it will be so much easier to write! I hope you liked this chapter. I wrote it not knowing what was going on. So if I need to change anything or if you have any comments or anything please tell me with that little review button!
PS should I start doing shout-outs? Tell me if I should or not!!
